Re: Why does Preferred HD not have BBC channels????

When a cable provider signs a deal with a content provider, it usualy contains what level of service the channel is required to be carried on.

If the content provider requires basic service, the cable provider is free to add it to other tiers as they wish.

But they have to pay the content provider for everyone that subscribes to that tier.

So it makes sense to add a channel that you perceive (and I am not necessarily saying this about BBC) has a lower viewership to put it in the highest tier where you are charging the most anyway.
